Great place for business lunch with great tasting appetizers- Shrimp and Calamari combo, and grilled Octopus are highly recommended; and bone-in steaks were delectable. Fine wine list as well. Christmas decorations were an added plus. I would come back again next time I’m in the area.

I took my team out to Luciano’s for an end of year celebration lunch! We sat in the room with the bar and we had an excellent meal that was both high quality and not rushed. The noise level in the room was very good and we did not have trouble getting understanding the conversation. Our group started with appetizers fried calamari and burrata with tomatoes and peppers. This was followed with entrees of the halibut from the main menu, veal milanese with greens and veal franchise with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everyone enjoyed the entrees and we remarked that the portions were generous. Our server was professional and attentive and offered our choice of how fast we wanted our entrees to be served after the appetizers. We had plenty of time to talk and have a good time! Thank you to the team at Luciano’s.

Absolutely amazing! Ambiance and bar are fantastic. Drinks were out of this world! Service was fantastic and dinner was delicious. This place is like a hidden gem! Had no idea it existed. Perfect spot for a romantic date!

We live in Staten Island which has so many Italian restaurants but our favorite is Mulberry Street in Woodbridge. Chef Paul makes so many excellent dishes. Some of our favorites are Beef Bolognese, Veal Sorrrentino & Shrimp Parm (not on the menu but he will make it). Best app is the mussels in a cream wine sauce and best dessert is his pistachio cheesecake. Reasonably priced food and wines. Great vibe with suttle dinner appropriate music in the background.

We were there for my son’s 12th bday with a few of his friends. Great food, service, comfortable table, and fun atmosphere. We had our own water dispenser that was refilled upon request which came in handy for a table of 12. Kids had a great time. We brought our own cake and had to serve it ourselves, but no biggie. Love D&B!
